Oooh, what a lovely dress. And the shared lace necklines are very elegant and a wonderful, touching idea. I hope it spreads so I can find dresses that share some element like that in my family's budget should I ever get married.

I totally just saw BrynneEdelsten on my lunch break while walking down the street. The only reason I paid close attention to her is because I saw a very blonde woman with very, very orange skin wearing the most skin tight, shiny pleather stirrup leggings and the highest nude wedges I've ever seen. When she started talking I realised who it was - there's no mistaking that nasal, American accent.

I don't watch that show, and I don't know who those guys are but the men in the Blake Lively link have the douchyiest eyebrows ever. I think if it were just one of them I wouldn't mind so much, or if they weren't posed that way, but that pic made me feel like it was a douche attack.

Surprisingly, I've yet to see anything really egregious (even Sharon Osborne had a lovely dress on). It seems like colour is making a comeback on the red carpet, thank god (the whole flesh-toned trend needed to just die already). It was nice to see yellow turning up with a few of the dresses, and a real bright yellow at that (the whole flesh-toned colour trend needs to die a quick death, if you ask me). I've seen a lot I quite liked although no one stand out as of yet. SWINTON is up there, though - that periwinkle colour is gorgeous against her pale skin and blonde hair. Her face is flawless, too.

Aaaaah, okay, first egregious dress picture of the evening goes to Sarah Michelle Gellar! It's too bad because those blues would have been so flattering on her, had they not been spray painted on the dress. Alas.

I actually really liked SMG's dress. It's bold and striking and works beautifully with her skin and hair. Plus, I love a sleek ponytail on the red carpet. I knew that Monique Lhuillier dress would show up on the red carpet eventually.

Loved Angelina's regal white number number, too. Swinton is MAGESTIC. I also though Emma Stone looked cute. And I have such a girl-crush on the Deschanel sisters, even though I wasn't a huge fan of Emily's dress (shoes were all wrong) and Zooey's dress was a bit sack-like around the middle (but was otherwise very cute). I was disappointed in Sofia Vergara's dress - I didn't think she brought it the way she usually does. Mila Kunis also looked very dull.

The pale pink/blush/nude trend needs to die already. COLOUR, people.

Charlize Theron is amazingly, smokingly hot (despite being in a blush toned dress). As is Salma Hayek. Reese looked hotter than she has for years. I think she might be trying to sex up her image.

Lea Michele really needs to stop trying so hard. And step away from Marchesa for a while.

Oh, and I liked Emily Blunt's yellow dress (but was she hammered or what?)

Lea Michele really needs to stop trying so hard. And step away from Marchesa for a while.

I've realised that I really don't like her public persona because it screams "try hard" but my BFF is a legitimate gleek and if I express these opinions she will kill me in my sleep. I wish I was joking.

I'm going to call SMG's choice a calculated miss. It's not a good dress, but it's eye-catching. And she didn't look bad or silly in it. For a woman who wasn't nominated, is in a pretty unsucessful show, I think it may have been a smart move. She'll get lots of attention today. It was a bold way to make her entrance back onto the scene. And I saw lots of shots of her working the room down front in the movie star section, so she was very much a woman trying to get shit done last night. Hee, I love seeing the return of ambitious Smidge.

None of the photos I've seen have come close to capturing how Viola looked onscreen. The color looks much more washed out to me. Her earrings, the hair, the dress - I gasped when I saw her, and rewound the Tivo. The other people I thought looked memorably great were Helen Mirren (again, the earrings were awesome), Claire Danes, Laura Dern, and Julianna Marguiles (although the neckline of her dress was not my fave, I loved the color with the bright earrings and chic hair).

It's been a dull year for movies, IMO, so I'm much more interested in the fashion for awards season this year.

Ooh I have to disagree, I wanted to like it, but the volume + all that stark white linen look made me think comforter every time I looked at it, 80's comforter. I did like that she went different enough to stand out and that she covered her ass with the cute story of how Charlotte picked it for her.

I actually did like Kelly's Zac Posen and Nat's pink/red thing, but Angie and Claire were the clear winners for me. I did also love ERW's scales to feathers, fish to fowl dress but I didn't the love her hair/makeup so it dimmed her overall look.

Madeline Stowe looked stunning. Though it's weird seeing her in something that's not a bandage dress.

I'm not sure who Andrea Riseborough is or what she's done other than W.E., but I liked the vaguely Elizabethan silhouette of her dress--it stood out in the sea of fishtail skirts. (And feathers! So many feathers and sequins!) As for Madonna, she needed a bigger size on top.
